The Kensington-Gerard Detective series follows the careers of NYPD Homicide Detectives Jessie Kensington and her partner Zachary Gerard as they fight crime in the city that never sleeps. Jessie is a good detective, but is damaged with commitment issues that have a fearsome grip on her present. Gerard’s been around law all his life as seen through the eyes of his father, a hotshot attorney with a reputation for racking up not guilty verdicts on his son’s cases. That only adds to their already tenuous relationship.
Greed, betrayal, sexual tension, threats on their lives, abductions, and missing witnesses makes for an ongoing parade of cases that seem unsolvable, but the fascination of seeing the evidence mount, regardless of setbacks, the pieces of the puzzle always seem to fit into a nice neat little package. In the end, persistence on Zach’s part opens Jessie’s mind to the fullness of a life her heritage has denied her. THE KENSINGTON-GERARD DETECTIVE SERIES IS CREATED BY K. T. ROBERTS

Max was standing next to his father by the opened door. 


Max nodded, unsure of his current status with his father. All he knew was he felt better. He bent over to pick up his backpack and carried it out of the office. Queasiness waved through his stomach. On the one hand, he could see the excitement on his father's face when he'd listened to the recording, but he was still worried about the victim. Either way, though, he knew he'd done the right thing, and he wasn't going to worry about it. 


Max followed Ryan out into the hallway. His father had walked out of the office and was now conversing with two people he assumed worked for his father when he saw firearms on their hips. 


"Thanks for stopping by, Maxie, and don't forget what I told you," Harwell said to him.
